Described in the 1992 edition of Nikolaus Pevsner's book, 'Northumberland (The Buildings of England)' as, "tucked away off the south side of Pottersgate", this fine building by F. R. Wilson dates to 1886 and is Grade II Listed. Originally built as an Anglican Mission Hall ("The poor man's parish church, with soup kitchens etc. below a first-floor hall") it was for many years occupied by H. C. Coates & Son, Printers, before, eventually, being converted into flats. The editors of the 1992 edition of Pevsner's book thought that there was, "plenty of fussy but cheaply done detail to the timber-framed canted bays on each side", although, in conclusion, considered the building to be, "an interesting piece of social history".
